    There was an episode of the new Night Court which revolved around New York Comic Con and had Dan dressed up as a Klingon.

      I recently saw that one on a flight! I had a feeling he played in Star Trek at some point but didn’t have the connectivity to look it up.

        Speaking of the original Night Court, Brent Spiner had a recurring role as Bob Wheeler.

          Yep, in fact he gave up a spot as a regular to take the role of Data. They were going to have him take over the concession stand in the cafeteria.

          It’s wild.

          The second I read that I instantly knew the character and realized I’d never made the connection.

          The only Wheeler line I can remember is his wife looking at the Public Defender’s proud bosom and saying that she’d had a nice rack before the six kids.
